Hi Andreas,
As a user, I wonder (out loud) if the Browser Panel should be hidden by
default, in future QGIS versions. This would avoid this common issue of
slowing down QGIS for new users, and give the new user a guaranteed
positive QIGS first-use experience. Has there been any discussion on
this possibility? I was surprised to read here that it is the opposite
case, where devs are promoting use of the browser panel more and more.
I just thought that I'd share my longtime-user opinion, and hopefully
not sound too negative. I just feel disabling the browser panel by
default would prevent so many issues for new users (and the advanced
users can turn it on for their use when they need it). So, benefit the
new users, and cause the devs an extra button click to enable :)
Related: when I give QGIS training, it is the first thing I instruct, to
close the browser panel as it causes network issues often.
thanks,
-jeff

Hi Dimitris,
Interesting, thanks for confirming.
It is not the first time I hear that the Browser Panel is slowing down
QGIS too much (even bringing it to a halt almost).
Now it would be interesting to find out, what, in the browser in your
situation is the culprit. Is it network drives, databases, services? My
first guess would be the network drives.
This is kind of problematic, as the QGIS devs are more and more
promoting usage of the browser panel (and it is quite useful and
comfortable), but if it is a potential source of slow down ... I don't
know if it is so wise to promote the browser so much. Or at least we
should be more conservative on scanning folders by default.

Hello Andrea,
You were right! Amazing. This fixed the performance issues!

Hi Dimitris,
Just a shot in the dark: does it help if you close the "Browser"
panel. Sometimes the browser (esp. with network drives) can slow
down QGIS considerably.
Maybe worth a try.

Hello all,
I am facing some performance issues lately with QGIS. I have been
using QGIS3.14 since the last six months (Windows 10) without any
problems. It was always very fast in any type of analysis.
Suddenly it stopped responding. Sometimes it lags for a minute or
more while performing simply tasks (load layer, save layer as
geojson etc.).
I have tried to uninstall, delete the registry and the plugins
and reinstall it but the issues perform. I have tried the newer
version (3.16) and the older one (3.10) but I still get the same
performance issues. I have also trired to run it with a new
profile and without any plugins. When running it with no plugins
it launches faster but then I get the same lag issues when
loading layers or running simply analysis (buffer)
Do you have any idea what could be causing this? I was wondering
if some other software that I have installed recently could have
created an issue.
Thanks
Dimitris
